AOL suspending duplicate AIM accounts?

[aswedc]

Just this week I've had my two alternate screen names show up as "suspended" when I try to sign on...is this happening to anyone else?

just tested and my other name works

What do mean by duplicate? and alternate? like more than one account on your email addy?

They're actually not on the same email address...but I'm occasionally on them at the same time as my main account...from the same IP...same passwords...

I doubt it, there are instances where a single computer can have different users and different aim accounts signed on at the same time.

That's actually a feature they added in a recent version, so it wouldn't make sense that they'd suspend duplicate names. Maybe if you hadn't used them in a certain amount of time?
